A new terminal complex is now under construction at Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport (MSY). The $1 billion, 35-gate terminal will provide an improved passenger experience showing off the spirit of New Orleans throughout the facility through the presence of live music and local restaurants that characterize New Orleans’ distinct culture. When the new facility opens in May 2019, all operations will move to the new location on the other side of the airport runways.

Why A New Airport Terminal?

November 1, 2018

The Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport is building a new terminal to better meet the needs of the traveling public. The current terminal was built in 1959, making it almost 60 years old.

This is the first time Cafe Du Monde will operate a restaurant in an airport. Although Shake Shack operates over 130 locations worldwide, this is the chain's first Louisiana location. MSY also joins the ranks of only five airport locations including New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Kuwait International Airport (KWI) and Dubai International Airport (DXB).
